Timothy Weah's move to Marseille is hitting a snag, with his agent, Badou Sambague, publicly accusing a Juventus director of sabotage.
Weah has reportedly agreed personal terms with the French club, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, but Juventus are refusing to accept their offer. This comes despite Weah's desire to join Marseille and not a Premier League team, as was attempted during the Club World Cup when Juventus tried to offload him to Nottingham Forest.
Sambague expressed his frustration, stating that while two Juventus directors are supportive, one is actively creating problems by demanding an exorbitant fee and waiting for a non-existent Premier League offer. He implies this is a retaliatory action after Weah was sidelined during the Club World Cup, where Juventus were eliminated in the last 16 by Real Madrid.
Weah, a 25-year-old USMNT international, joined Juventus in 2023 from Lille and contributed significantly to their Coppa Italia victory in 2024. However, this latest development casts doubt on his immediate future with the club.
Sambague's comments represent a significant escalation in the situation, publicly calling out a Juventus executive for unprofessional conduct and 'old-fashioned methods'. The agent vows to not let this lack of respect slide, ensuring that Weah gets the move to Marseille he desires.
